Catching Ducks

My baby brother got hitched. I signed the paperwork and everything! His wife (wife! My brother's got a wife!) is awesome and her daughter (I've got a niece!) is also cool. The ceremony seemed to go well and it was great to see friends and relatives that we don't get to see very often.

All in all, a lovely day. Congratulations Soto and Mrs. Soto!

The third season of Doctor Who is airing here in North America, and it's put me in a Doctor-Who mood. I'm re-watching the earlier seasons and today's quote is from the first season episode "The Doctor Dances":


The Doctor: That door should hold it for a bit.

Jack: The door? The wall didn't stop it!

The Doctor: Well, it's got to find us first. Come on, we're not done yet. [What are our] assets?

Jack: Well, I've got a banana, and in a pinch you could put up some shelves.

The Doctor: Window?

Jack: Barred. Sheer drop outside: seven stories.

Rose: And no other exits.

Jack: Well, the assets conversation went in a flash, didn't it.

You know that old joke about how long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on?

I think stubbornness and persistence are like that. If you're sticking to what is right for you, you're persistent. If someone won't change their mind to agree with you, they're stubborn.

Television Without Pity's Joe R:

"Then [comes] the I Know Who Killed Me trailer, which manages to both give the entire movie away and still make no sense."

Not only are they begin showing third series of the new Doctor Who before the SciFi Channel, but they're also going to air Torchwood, the Doctor Who spin-off that I desperately want to see but SciFi passed on. (BBC-America picked it up, but since I don't get that channel, it doesn't do me a lot of good!)

Yay CBC!!!

Time to catch up on my quotes!


For 30 May:

From Keckler's recap of Hell's Kitchen:

"Over on the Blue Team, Vinnie, a nightclub cook, stupidly laughs after Ramsay slams his overcooked pasta. He tells us he laughed because he doesn't know what 'rubbish' means. I'm laughing that someone could really be that stupid and not set themselves on fire more often."


For 6 June:

I could have sworn that I'd already used this Red vs. Blue quote, but I searched and I couldn't find it. So, here it is:

Donut: I'm on this awesome diet.
Sarge: Are you still doing that high-fat, low-fiber liquid diet where you drink nothing but bacon grease?
Donut: Nah, that was just a fad.
Sarge: What's the new one?
Donut: I only eat foods that begin with vowels.
Simmons: That sounds really hard. What did you have for breakfast?
Donut: Eggs and oreos. And for lunch, I'm having asparagus. And oreos!
Grif: Holy crap, I've been on that diet for years! I had no idea I was so healthy. I even cut out all the eggs -- and I don't even know what asparagus is!


For today:

From Calvin and Hobbes (by Bill Watterson), Calvin's dad is trying to teach him how to ride a bike:

Calvin's dad: Look Calvin, you've got to relax a little. Your balance will be better if you're loose.
Calvin: I can't help it! Imminent death makes me tense! I admit it!
Calvin's dad: You need a goal. Concentrate on your goal.
Calvin: My goal is to dismantle this bicycle and mail every piece to a different country so it can never be rebuilt!
Calvin's dad: OK, that's not a good goal.
Calvin: Well I'm not changing it!

I'm back! I finally fixed all my computer issues (at least, I hope I did). I had gotten out of the blogging habit, but I think I'm ready to dive back in.

I'll post more soon, I promise! (Ummm...... Assuming my computer doesn't crash again, that is.)
